DSA Kalman Student Environment
Welcome to the student area of the DSA Kalman website. We have collected and created some useful links, documents, and videos in order to help our new fellow students during the start of their studies. Below you will find, in no particular order, a selection of helpful links, a tutorial on the commonly used MATLAB and Simulink software suite, an Overleaf tutorial for your homework and reports, and more. Do you have something to share with your fellow students to help them out? Don’t hesitate to contact us, and we will share it here!

Tutorials
The following tutorials will hopefully help you survive your studies.
We’re having a small start up session on Friday, the 3rd of September 2021 to help you out with initial doubts and difficulties that you might be facing. Register here!
Prerequisites
NOT REQUIRED, JUST RECOMMENDED! Systems & Control is not easy. Through this document, we present relevant concepts that the student should be familiar with. Students from the bachelor mechanical engineering from the TU Delft have been taught these concepts in various courses. This document focuses on students from other studies and universities. However, if you want to get a head start it is wise to thoroughly scan this document.

Latex and Overleaf
What is the overleaf tutorial about?
Due to the corona crises we want to become more involved online. One of the ideas that came up was making a tutorial for overleaf. The tutorial will include 2 videos, 1 for people new to overleaf with some basics and 1 with tips and tricks that will be useful for anyone. We will also include a template for commonly encountered setups such as equations, a bibliography and a front page.
Introduction
Video contents:
- What are LaTeX and Overleaf, and why should you use it?
